    Hi George. .Excellent videos.. Here is some information about the grave stone outside.. between the two buildings..The name on the Stone is Walter Irvin Robinson. He was my brother. He worked at the airport for about fifty years as an Aircaft painter ,With a number of companys. Starting with Airworks refurbishing .Saber jets, and Vampires.. Then to a Short spell with Aviation Overhauls along Speke road , Dakotas..Skymasters Then to British Eagle. Viscounts ,Britanias.. when Eagle closed down he went to Vernair..Keenair .all this on the old Airport. So when the flying was transferred to the new airport, he went with Vernair and Keens To the Eastern end of the new runway.. And was there untill ..I am sorry, I am having some trouble with my computer, It will not type numbers. He would have been quite chuffed if you though that he might have been a pilot. I worked at the old Speke Airport, As an engine fitter, With Starways..Aviation Overhauls, British Eagle, Cambrian.. British Airways untill made redundent when B/A moved out. But as they say that is another story.. I hope this adds a bit to your visit to Speke Airport.. Cheers for now Eric Robinson..

    Well, that was a surprise. After looking at the rest of the airport on your last video, this looks amazing 👏 I wonder what film Stephen Graham was in filming there ?

    Took a while to find it on the map. A fair distance away from todays airport.
